Wimps

Let’s face the facts, people. Wimps aren’t here to beat around the bush with some pandering, meandering hyperbolic mission statement that’s out to change the way you see the world, unless you like getting punched in the face until you can’t see straight.

Repeat is Wimps’ first full-length record, following a self-released five-song demo in early 2012. The track list itself reads as a ne’er-do-well punk manifesto: “Stop Having Fun,” “Quit Your Job,” “Hello Frustration,” and others channel the mundane intricacies of their own frustrated existence.

Yet coming from a group self-aware enough to name themselves Wimps, these outward neuroses are tempered with a deadpan sincerity that negates any perceived affront. Revel in your social anxiety and rest assured: there is strength in being a Wimp.
